I want send out a massive thank you to Frank Hoffman from OFF, he has offered to take the underdog from the UK to SCC.

Frank THANKS, this will allow the underdog to try for a 10. see the car next week

So when you see the old dog next week spare a thought for frank and his long drive to get there and back.

Cheers

Hi Ritchie, sounds like the E6 will be a nice scene next week.
What time/day do you estimate to leave Sweden and pass the Norwegian border (Svinesund) ?
Would be great fun to join the cruise as I live just by where you folks will be passing by.

... It was fantastic to see the Underdog up against Der Express Russel ...

Frank had to spend quite a bit of time persuading Der Express to run too, no major problems just a series of small fixes to ageing components like the fuel pump and starter,  was cool to see them both heading up the track for sure. Just another small part of a great weekend.

 Cool
